Candidate for change?

It seems like I harp on Hillary, and people around me know I don't care for her much. For a variety of reasons, this election season is coming down to change. We all want it, and I think there is a reason.

I'm fairly young, at least I like to tell people I am. So I might look at thing without a lot of perspective. However, the Clintons and Bushes have held the top executive position in the country for almost three-quarters of my life, and maybe that's what my dislike for Hillary comes down to.

After 20 years in charge, I want some change. It doesn't seem like there has been a lot of it over the past two decades, despite party switches. And four or eight more years of this reign just doesn't sound good to me.

I think this is an underlying part of what makes her campaign so complex. On one hand, America likes what they are familiar with. On the other, polls show the country says they want change. It's just hard to make that switch, which is why I think we saw her bounce back in New Hampshire. That state especially like to buck the national trend and is fiercely independent. Vote first or die? Seriously. While they don't want to just hand things over to Hillary, I think they were opposed to crowning Senator Obama. Maybe they, like me, just wanted to keep things interesting.

Either way, it will be interesting to see if America really wants change or ends up finding solace in familiarity.
